A distinctive example from the Venetian tradition, this wall light by Maestri Vetrai reflects the expressive qualities of Murano glass in both structure and surface. Its sculptural rhythm draws attention whether illuminated or at rest.

Design

The composition is formed by five substantial glass panels, each shaped by hand and finished in a textured ghiaccio surface. Alternating between clear and deep orange, the panels extend outward in a gentle arc from a central metal support. The orange elements carry a tactile quality, dispersing light unevenly and producing soft, broken reflections across the surrounding space. In contrast, the white ghiaccio finish introduces a quieter visual layer, allowing the colour to remain present without overwhelming the composition. A brushed steel wall mount anchors the structure and discreetly contains the electrical elements. Light travels laterally through the glass, diffused in both directions with a subtle gradation that shifts with intensity.

The arrangement suggests a modular logic, though conceived as a single entity. Repetition of curved forms and the measured use of colour align with the approach of Maestri Vetrai, where traditional craftsmanship meets structured design thinking. Its visual presence alters with ambient light, offering depth and variation from different viewpoints.

A composed lighting object that balances material expression with a controlled architectural rhythm. It lends itself to interiors where texture and light are given space to interact.

Condition

The applique is in very good condition. Glass elements are intact without chips or cracks, and the metal structure shows only minor wear. The lamp has been tested and operates as intended, retaining a clear maker’s sticker on the side of the backplate.
